Extraction technology of Xiao-yao-drink

Abstract

An extraction technology of a Xiao-yao-drink includes a medicine preparing step of preparing herbal medicines, a pulverizing step of pulverizing the herbal medicines to produce medicinal solid particles, a liquid extracting step of adding the medicinal solid particles into an extraction liquid to dissolve the medicinal solid particles in the extraction liquid, an ultrasonic extraction step of impacting the medicinal solid particles in the extraction liquid by concentrated ultrasonic waves to crush the medicinal solid particles into medicinal molecules, and a centrifugal filtering step of filtering the medicinal molecules from the extraction liquid by a strainer cloth to produce a medicinal extract which constructs a Xiao-yao-drink product. Thus, the extraction technology uses an ultrasonic extraction procedure to crush the medicinal solid particles into medicinal molecules by concentrated ultrasonic waves to efficiently increase the active component of the herbal medicine.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. An extraction technology of a Xiao-yao-drink, comprising:
 a medicine preparing step of preparing a plurality of herbal medicines; 
 a pulverizing step of pulverizing the herbal medicines to produce medicinal solid particles; 
 a liquid extracting step of adding the medicinal solid particles into an extraction liquid which is water to dissolve the medicinal solid particles in the extraction liquid; 
 an ultrasonic extraction step of impacting the medicinal solid particles in the extraction liquid by concentrated ultrasonic waves with a volume of one hundred liters (100 L) and with a cycle time of about one hour to crush the medicinal solid particles in the extraction liquid into medicinal molecules; and 
 a centrifugal filtering step of filtering the medicinal molecules from the extraction liquid by a strainer cloth to produce a medicinal extract which constructs a Xiao-yao-drink product; 
 wherein in the medicine preparing step, the herbal medicines includes  Mentha arvensis, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Zingiber officinale, Angelica sinensis, Vatica mangachapoi Blanco, Wolfiporia cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz , and  Paeonia lactiflora;    
 the ultrasonic extraction step is directly performed after the medicinal solid particles are dissolved in the extraction liquid of water; and 
 all of the steps of the extraction technology of the Xiao-yao-drink are kept at a temperature ranged between 25° C. and 35° C. 
 
     
     
       2. The extraction technology of a Xiao-yao-drink of  claim 1 , wherein the mixture proportion of the medicinal solid particles to the extraction liquid is about 1:3. 
     
     
       3. The extraction technology of a Xiao-yao-drink of  claim 1 , wherein the mixture proportion of the medicinal solid particles to the extraction liquid is about 1:5. 
     
     
       4. The extraction technology of a Xiao-yao-drink of  claim 1 , wherein the mixture proportion of the medicinal solid particles to the extraction liquid is about 1:10. 
     
     
       5. The extraction technology of a Xiao-yao-drink of  claim 1 , wherein in the centrifugal filtering step, the strainer cloth has two hundred and fifty (250) meshes.
